shopping therapy

Feeling down these few days and especially today. Was walking around JP looking for something just now but didn't manage to find it. Instead of buying the stuff that I want, I bought a pair of slipper and a piece of t-shirt. Was feeling better when I shop at Giordano because of the bright smile given by the crew. Then I sort of can understand what is shopping therapy and why women like to shop when their mood is down.

For my case, its because the stuff that I bought are actually things that I wanted to buy for q.some time already but didn't, due to time and emotional attachment with my money. And those things are things that I should buy but not urgent. Usually its some minor "problems" that I can bear with. And so, shopping and buying these stuff actually lessen the things that could annoy me and make my day less annoying. On top of that, the bright smile on the sales person's face is really contagious. Somehow, it just make my day and I respect their professionalism. Actually I didn't really want to buy the piece of shirt that I bought, but still bought it because I was really touched by the excellent service given. Without having to look at my facial expression when the sales person first greet me, I know my face looks like a "black pile of shit" (you4 hei1 you4 chuo4). Thats the reason why I used the word professionalism earlier. I hope whatever I said can be a boost of morale for any sales person happen to read my blog. =)

p.s.: I forgot to point out that I recieved 20% discount for the tee because my bro is a member of Giordano and this month is his birthday month. Didn't know there is such discount until the payment. Luckily all I need do to enjoy the discount is to key in my bro's phone number.
